INTRODUCING OUR SOUTH AFRICAN STAY, DE BERGKANT, STILL KAROO
Dating back to the mid 1800’s, De Bergkant is a beautifully restored, nine bedroom stay, an extended Cape Dutch home that is the epitome of elegance in architecture, while an important figure in the town’s history.
Found in the charming town of Prince Albert, South Africa, the recently transformed De Bergkant guesthouse lies at the foot of the world-renowned Swartberg mountains, with the tranquil open plains of the Karoo surrounding it at every turn.
Furnished in collectable antiquities and local treasures, the hotel offers old-world glamour in four suites and five double rooms – pet friendly, a sauna and steam bath as well as three swimming pools, all set within lush gardens. Within walking distance from the quaint village centre, guests are able to enjoy the local restaurants, shops and Saturday market.
Absolutely great house! Everything was right! The last hotel on our two month trip to South Africa was probably the best!

Very good breakfast in the garden. Very nice staff. Very quiet atmosphere, it was beautiful.
Franz Josef
Really enthusiastic manager made this stay particularly pleasing. The rooms are sparkling clean and reaching towards really award level. We must mention that after 30 years, no, 40 years, of world travel, the breakfast here warrants a large medal for quality, service with a smile and simply splendid choice of any kind of breakfast you could possibly want. Bravo, Chapeau!

A real hidden spot while we were passing through. Great location, beautiful accommodation and very friendly staff who were willing to make everyone as comfortable as possible. Breakfast was rich with beautiful, fresh and tasty products. The restaurants nearby were good and the pool was well maintained and nice spacious.

Home away from home. After years back in De Bergkant. New owners provide for continuation in atmosphere, refinement of style, development to sustainability and all that with a cordial touch. Wonderfully decorated spacious rooms together with an outstanding breakfast and perfect service make De Bergkant our home away from home in Prince Albert. And the suggestions for places to have dinner proved to be in line with the quality expected! We’ll be back!
